According to Donna Scott in her book The Crockett Family, David & Lydia (Young) Crockett & their family left Maine to join the saints in Ohio but the Saints were already leaving to come to Nauvoo. They had children born in Nauvoo in 1844 & 1845. Another child was born in Iowa in 1847 & another in Salt Lake City in 1850.

“Crockett, Alvin …In Nauvoo they were eye witnesses to and sharers of the manifold hardships that obtained from the year mentioned until the great exodus in 1846, During their stay in Nauvoo, for one entire winter, Alvin, though but a mere lad of twelve years, was brought face to face with the great responsibility of caring for the remainder of the family. They were all confined to their beds with the fever excepting him, and while he was not in the woods with ax and wagon getting fuel to keep them warm, he was at their bedsides administering to their various wants. This duty was discharged manfully, Subsequent to the banishment from Nauvoo, the family settled in Davis county, Iowa, where they made their living by farming on shares until the spring of 1849.”

WINTER QUARTERS[Which families were in Winter Quarters? Lamoreaux, Haws, Crockett? Byam/Reed/Curtis…]

“It took the Saints 131 days to travel the 310 miles from Nauvoo to the settlement in western Iowa where they would pass the winter of 1846-7 and prepare for their trek to the Rocky Mts. This taught …more quickly cross the 1000 miles of the Great American plains …following year in abt 111 days”

“A number of settlements of Saints stretched along both sides of the Missouri River. The largest settlement, Winter Quarters, was on the west side in Nebraska.” 3,500 settlers in log cabins and dugouts of willows and dirt. 2,500 Saints lived in and around Kanesville, on the Iowa side. Malaria fever, no fresh food, cholera epidemics, scurvy, toothaches, night blindness, sever diarrhea. Hundreds died.

Women: cleaning, ironing, washing, quilting, write letters, meals, families, theological discussions, dances, Church meetings, parties, frontier revivals. Men: worked together, discussed travel plans, future sites for Saints, round up herds, forage on plains, worked in fields, guarded perimeters, constructed flour mill, readied wagons, prepared fields, planted crops for next group of Saints.

Mormon Battalion left Iowa.“Our Heritage, A brief History …Latter Day Saints”, p 71-72

“…problems caused by their hasty departure from Nauvoo slowed their progress, as did melting snow, heavy rains, swollen creeks, and mud everywhere – as deep as the wagon bottoms. …the camp inched it’s way west, establishing farms at Garden Grove & Mount Pisgah …arriving at Council Bluffs[Miller’s Hollow or Kanesville, named for Col Thomas Kane] …two months behind schedule. …encampments sprawled over high bluffs and open prairie in sight of Pottawattamie Indian Villages …too late for an over-the-mountains expedition.

Winter Quarters “…divided into 5 acre blocks… Houses were built on the outside of each block, with gardening areas reserved for the inside of the block. Wells were dug, wide streets laid out… In November, because of increasing theft by nearby Indian tribes, the city grew to the north as several southern blocks were evacuated to form a line of defense. …The quality of homes varied widely from large, sturdy, two-story dwellings with solid floors, oak shingles, windows, and chimneys of prairie sod or brick, to inadequate cabin shanties



without doors, floor, of full roofs. Some families lived in snow-covered tents, poorly heated covered wagons, or mere dugouts or caves in nearby bluffs or riverbanks.

“Home furnishings were meager, even crude. Most furniture had been either left behind in Nauvoo or long since discarded or traded away. A typical household contained barrels, chests for tables, an occasional wooden chair, trunks, and homemade bedsteads.” “…the Camp of Israel transformed into a prairie city in barely two months. By the end of 1846, Winter Quarters consisted of 538 log cabins, 83 sod houses, and a population of 3,483, which grew to 4,000 in 1847.

“Approximately 7,000 Latter-day Saints spent the winter of 1846-47 at the ‘Bluffs’ …4,000 in WQ & 3,000 on the east side of the Missouri. In addition, some 2,500 Latter-day Saints were scattered along the Iowa trail, while about 1,700 were in Missouri, mostly in St Louis.”

“With winter fast approaching, most of the refugees had used up their provisions, many were sick and exhausted, and death began to stalk the camp with almost indiscriminate abandon. Few crops had been planted, provisions were meager, and the amount of money forthcoming from the Mormon Battalion was unknown.

“The pioneers had no choice but to band together and support one another. President Young called upon the Latter-day Saints ‘to unite with us in the principles of self-preservation’ so that the camps could be made as self-sufficient as possible. In the fair and equitable distribution of what little they had lay the temporal salvation of all. Many were asked to make incredible sacrifices, some wore out with giving. …the welfare of all prevailed over the interest of the individual.

“By far their greatest physical resource was their massive herds of livestock. …Winter Quarters economy was built on a general barter system, with cattle being the most popular item of exchange.”

“All were encouraged to plant private gardens,… Those with trades and skills were encouraged to set up shop. They also built a basket factory, a flourmill, black smith, carding-machine house, tailors, shoemaking, etc. Men “were encouraged to go to Missouri to labor as hired hands… fence building, threshing and cleaning wheat, painting, plowing, milking, & stump clearing.”

Mormon Battalion money was considered “a manifestation of divine providence coming at just the right time for the purchase of provisions and goods in St Louis for their winter supply.”

The need to “provide better care for the poor and hungry in camp initiated a major change in Church administration… The change allowed bishops to offer more personal care…”

“The wintry exodus, shortage of provisions, inadequate medical treatment, exposed river habitation, lack of fruits and vegetables, and general impoverishment caught up with the camp, and a deadly scourge began to ravish the Saints. …river-region sicknesses …scurvy …clouds of misquotes …malaria …pneumonia, tuberculosis …women sitting ‘in open tents keeping flies off their dead children’ while waiting for the grave digger.” “…Church leaders encouraged those who were completing cabins & who had enough room to provide shelter for the less fortunate.”

“Elder Lorenzo Snow said, ’Well persons could not be found to take care of the sick. A general spirit of lamentation and sorrow pervaded.’” “…they were dying in epidemic proportions. …it is estimated that a minimum of 723 died between June 1846 ND May 1847 in settlements on both sides of the Missouri River and back along the Iowa trail.”

“The exodus would ever be more trial than trail. …God would have a tested people, …redeemed in the fire of their wilderness afflictions. While some left the Church during these difficult times, most remained faithful and committed to the cause of Zion. ‘We are willing to take our full share of troubles, trials, losses and crosses, hardships and fatigues, warnings and watchings, for the kingdom of heaven’s sake,’ Pres Young… ‘Come, calm or strife, turmoil or peace, life or death, in the name of Israel’s God we mean to conquer or die trying.’”

“Yet if the air of WQ was saddened by the moans of the sick and the sound of the grave digger’s shovel, it was also brightened by choirs, music, and the voices of children. …WQ put on a happy face and an active appearance.” “Makeshift schools… Singing & dancing schools …concerts, Musical performances, and songfests…”

“…Sunday worship services ..frequently held outdoors.. After the ringing of the Nauvoo Temple bell, …women outnumbered… And because of pervasive sickness, women were often found nursing, aiding, and comforting the sick and dying…”



The Pioneer Camp left 5 Apr 1847. The Emigrating Camp left in June. Thousands left behind began planting seeds & gathering provisions. “’All preparation and organization …is for journeying and not for a permanent location at Winter Quarters.”

remained until 4 July 1949, [where?] and on that day they left for Salt Lake Valley. They arrived 19 Oct 1849 on Alvin's 18th birthday. They came in the Williard Richards Company. “The company moved on over the sandy deserts, each day traveling as fast as possible to reach the nearest place of water and then often either not finding any or finding it so muddy they couldn't use it. When it was a necessity to use it they would use their precious oatmeal and boil the muddy water in it so the mud would settle to the bottom - - then they would make "Mormon tea" from the water on the top. This tea was made with the water and a little milk or cream and sweetened with honey or sugar. They experienced hunger, cold, heat, sorrow, and gladness. It was a very weary journey, often they would pass many strange and awful sights - - such as burial grounds of the saints, and demolished cabins. Then they would be afraid to sing around the campfire at night or play games to keep their spirits up, or even do much cooking, for fear the Indians would see their smoke from the fires and raid them. Their shoes were completely worn



out from walking. Sometimes they would only get to rest and ride on the wagon tongue for a short period.”

1849 July 4 Missouri David Crockett Family left Missouri for Great Salt Lake with WilardRichards Co.

Hopkins, Roxana Crockett, Biography of Alvin Crockett The travelers had a hard time finding water. One day Lydia Crockett knelt in

prayer and asked to be led to water. She got up & asked for a shovel & said she would tell them where to dig for water… and she did.

“There was one particular time along the way that they had traveled so far without finding water that the people all became so discouraged that finally when they stopped to look around again for signs of water, Lydia went off by herself to pray, and she prayed in all sincerity that they might be directed to a place where they could find water. She plead with the Lord and told him she knew that he knew how badly they were in need of water. When she rose from her knees she felt light-hearted and she knew her prayers were about to be answered. She walked a short distance from where she had been kneeling and called to the men to bring her a shovel and she could direct them where to find water. They were all amazed but followed her instructions and soon struck a small spring of water. Everyone was rejoycing and thanking their Heavenly Father for this modern day miracle. The spring was marked and all the Saints coming along that trail were able to get water.

(This story has been told in the family ever since and many of the latter Crockett families have looked up this little spring. In 1953 it was brought out in our Reunion that it had been located in our generation).”

“As soon as the Saints arrived in the Salt Lake Valley they revived the "Nauvoo Legion" as the Salt Lake Militia. It was known by both names throughout the entire Territory of Utah. Among the members of the Legion there was called a special group, known as the minutemen, who were to be ready at any moment to render service in protection of the settlement. They were called out, often, to prevent Indian raids and to capture criminals, or to otherwise protect the community. Alvin Crockett was a member of this group. Johnston's Army was a group sent out by the government to quell the still outraged people of Nauvoo that still were not satisfied to think they were unable to do away completely with the Mormons, whom they had slain, murdered, and burned out of that territory.” “This army had many fine horses and the Militia formed a shrewd plan to trick them. They took the horses available and rode up into Echo Canyon where they knew of a trail that they could go up, around, and down. They knew that the Johnston's Army could observe them from part of the trail. So for hours these few horsemen made these same rounds, up, around, and down. They accomplished their purpose - - the Army didn't realize they were being tricked and fled.” (These things were told me by my mother Roxana Catherine Crockett and her brother Hyrum.)

David Crockett family “The family located in the 1st ward and after a great struggle they were successful in building up a comparatively comfortable home. President Brigham Young sent families of the Saints to settle various communities in the different parts of the state, and he sent the David Crockett family to Payson, Ute to help build up that section. David was elected to be the first Mayor of Payson; a position he held with dignity and honor. “

Lydia Young Crockett “His wife, Lydia, was a very energetic soul, too, sharing these hard pioneering times, doing everything within her ability to make all comfortable and happy. She studied everything she could lay her hands on about and concerning medicine and cures for ailing people. She was what they called a mid-wife, doing everything a doctor and nurse combined do now. The only thing she lacked was a degree in medicine. She brought hundreds of babies and nursed countless hundreds of other sick people. No matter what they were afflicted with, they always called her to come. Licensed doctors were a very scarce item in those days.”

“Lydia was called to the homes of the sick all over Cache Valley, which at that time extended clear up into "Gentile Valley" in Idaho. She was called all hours of the day and night, and would either ride a horse or take the buggy and horse, depending on the weather. She would stay as long as she was needed. What did she receive as pay? If she was real lucky and they could afford it, they would give her a side of bacon, or maybe some dry beans or corn.”

Scott, Donna Hopkins, The Crockett Family of Maine, p 14d“David Crockett, first mayor of Payson, arrived in Salt Lake Valley

October 19, 1849, and in 1851 was sent by Brigham Young to help colonize the settlement at Peteetneet.

‘When they arrived they were told that all of the land had been taken up that could be watered by the creek. Disappointed, they and the David Fairbanks family turned eastward and became the first settlers of Pond Town.

‘Later the people at Fort Peteetneet reconsidered and the Crocketts returned when more land was opened for settlement. The city was incorporated January 1, 1853, and David Crockett was elected first mayor of Payson. He served the term of 1853-54, and was reelected for two additional terms, 1855-56 and: 1857-58. He was later elected alderman and served the term of 1859-60.

‘He was born December 30, 1806, in Vinal Haven, Maine. He married Lydia [Young] Ames December 20, 1830, in Knox County, Maine. They heard the message of missionaries from the Mormon Church, accepted it and joined others in Nauvoo, Illinois. They remained there for two years and in 1846, with others, were driven out. They sustained themselves by farming on shares until the spring of 1849, when on July 4th they departed for the Valley of the Great Salt Lake. They arrived October 19th on the 18th birthday of his son, Alvin, and remained in Salt Lake City until moving to Payson in 1851.

‘David's wife, Lucinda Elizabeth, whom he married July 23, 1856, in the Salt Lake Endowment House, was one of Payson's first school teachers. His wife,



Lydia, was a midwife. The family moved to Logan about 1860, where Alvin Crockett became the first mayor of that city. (Earl C. Crockett)”

Dirt formed the roof with willows placed on first and the soil to hold them in place, until they could get the real roof on.

By then the PEF accounts were drained, the handcart method was losing support, and the average cash cost for covered wagon transportation from Florence, Nebraska, to SLC, Utah, was $50 per person for cattle, wagon, & outfit. …Pres Young… inspired to create a brilliant new transportation system… Utahns sent wagons down to the Missouri River valley to pick up needy emigrants and bring them back to Utah – ‘down-and-back’ wagon companies.” Utah members were given tithing credit for sending wagons, oxen, drivers & flour east. The flour was unloaded at 4 stations along the trail for use on the trip back. “Nearly 4,000 LD Saints in Scandinavia, England, & the US made plans to emigrate. …chartered trains, boats, & ships to meet a clockwork schedule designed to put emigrants at Florence, NB in time to meet the Utah down-and-back wagon companies there. …during May, June & July… a provisions store, a warehouse, campsites, corrals, & a weighing machine.

and towns of Cache was how to secure legal title to the lands within the townsites. Since people who settled in the early towns of Cache Valley founded their settlements before the lands were surveyed and the land office open, they were squatters on the public lands. However, the federal government in 1867 passed “An Act for Public Relief of the Inhabitants of Cities and Towns upon the Public Lands.”

“My Grandmother was born in Logan, Utah, on December 11, 1871 the third of four children born to Alvin and Annie Peel Crockett. By her nature she was a happy child, but her childhood life was full of hardships. The family was poor as were many other pioneer families. Her father worked as a mechanic and did all he could to make ends meet but times were hard. At a very early age, her mother developed cancer and suffered a great deal, so much that for the last ten years of her life she was bed-fast. I can remember grandmother telling us of how it worried her as a little girl to see her mother so ill, and how hard she tried to keep her comfortable.

“They were an industries family and the children were taught to work in the garden. They raised a large garden and the girls bottled the fruit and vegetables. They also opened their home to students who needed board and room while attending college at the USAC. Room and board at that time was $12.00 a month and for an extra 25¢ a week they washed their clothes and did it without the aid of a washing machine.

“Grandmother attended the Agriculture College the first year that the college was in operation. Tuition at that time was only $5.OO a quarter.”

“Disaster struck the family in Dec of 1883. On New Year's Eve A.O. got lost on a hunting trip at Swan Lake, 20 miles north of Preston and nearly froze to death. He managed to get a fire built and the dog that was with him kept him awake during the long bitter winter night. The next morning he managed to find his way to the Beckstead home where they put his feet in a tub of water, cut his boots in strips and peeled them off. …toes & fingers had to be amputated.

blizzard while deer hunting near Preston ID. When found 24 hours later his limbs were so badly frozen that to save his life, it was necessary to amputate nearly half of both feet. The little fingers on both hands were also cut off.”

Lamoreaux, Harold, “A Trek to Arizona” 1959 “Archie & Ozro decided to go hunting deer to …help out our provisions.

Ruth was sick… Ozro stayed home…A.O. went alone. “20 miles north …Swan Lake …expected Mr Beckstead to meet him. New country, saw a deer, the dog chased it off & he followed; killed the deer, started back to his horse… too cold …looked for something to make a fire. Hands & feet froze. The dog kept him awake during long cold night… New Years Eve.

“Next morning, found his horse, rode to Mr Beckstead’s… worked with him all night put him on a train & sent him home. Telegraphed his father, David B Lamoreaux. The R.R. ran thru out land. They carried him in. No one was home, I was at Ozro’s. My boys came home he sent them for me. I went home alone not knowing if I’d find him alive or not. Soon there was a crowd. Put him on the train with his dad for Logan. Archie said ‘I had a dream’ Take off my little fingers. Next week they took off his toes/feet.

“Our baby, Ray got sick, pneumonia, I took him to my sister Delia’s. The Bishop rented a house for us & moved us. As soon as Ray was well enough I took him there. The town had a benefit dance for us & raised $175. Friends brought money, coal, wood, food. One night three personages appeared at his side, two men & a boy. I had fallen asleep, Archie was anxious for me to see them. He woke me & they were gone. It was such a comfort to him and he felt so happy.”

“Archie got some better, Lydia “came down with inflammatory rheumatism, also neuraligy, had to have some teeth pulled. A terribly cold winter. The walls of the house were damp… so we moved up to fathers… The Dr said to go out for a walk in the June air as soon as we could.



“The first time we went out for a little walk, …Archie on his knees with a stick to help, the ground was gravely and his knees tender; I could just walk slowly by his side, very thin, no color in my face; Orrell with us and Ray not quite two following behind on his knees, with a stick, doing as daddy did.” [Breaks your heart to read it.]

Trek to Arizona1894 Spring Lydia & Archibald Lamoreaux moved their family to Arizona. Money was obtained

for the trip by selling the farm in Dingle for $2000. “Last minute preparations had taken longer than anticipated… 3 year old Dave had wondered off. …the start was delayed until the next day. …The proposed journey was a long one, through a little traveled and desolate region, and the group did not inspire confidence. Dad [Archibald O Lamoreaux] was 36 years old, but badly crippled. His feet were round stumps that rested on thick blocks of leather covered wood. He could move around only with the help of a crutch and a cane or by crawling on his knees. Mother [Lydia L Crockett] was 35, and so sick she was bedfast in one of the wagons much of the trip. Five children were in the party, …eldest was 14 years, …youngest an infant of three months. …Ray Delos, age 12, …nearly 1,000 miles of mountains, deserts and rivers to cross…” “Hyrum E Crockett, mother’s 22 year old brother, …planned to go along and become a school teacher in Arizona."

“…All the families earthly possessions were in two wagons, one a new Bain wagon, Because it had springs, a large double bed was placed inside the new wagon for the parents to use.

“Eleven horses were included in the little caravan, two of them saddle horses. There was a team on each wagon and the other horses trailed behind, herded usually by Orrell or Ray. To obtain food and protect themselves from Indians, animals, and outlaws,



the family carried a .44 caliber carbine with an octagonal barrel, a muzzle loading 10 gage shotgun and a revolver.

“…a hand plow, shovels, hoes and pitchforks were among the items carried in the second wagon. Drinking water and grain for the horses added to the bulk. One saddle and six harnesses were also carried.

“Camp on the second day was about 40 miles from Dingle. That night several of the horses broke their hobbles and disappeared. The next day Dad[Archibald] set off in persuit… he dispatched …a nephew …to bring the family back to regroup before starting again.

Nearly a month later they began again. “Dad found Uncle Hite …and convinced him that he should continue the journey with them. …Dad drove the lead wagon. …Uncle Hite followed with the second wagon some 100 – 200 yards behind to avoid the dust, while extra horses brought up the rear.”

“…the little company followed a course to the East roughly parellel to the Wasatch Mountains. …this plateau region which averages over 5,000’ in elevation, is almost devoid of signs of civilization. Utah Highway #3 [US 89?] …closely approximates the route taken by the family.

“One of their first camp sites was the town of Almy“At Evenston they crossed the old Mormon Trail“Dad [Archibald] led his party towards the majestic Uinta Mountains that blocked

travel to the south. …highest mountains in Utah …only major mountain range in US with an east – west axis …five tallest peaks towered over 13,000’ …deep amphitheaters …alpine lakes …a wild and difficult place. South of the Uintas was a forested area where plateau summits rose from 9,000’ to 11,000’ high. …A guess is that he traveled south from Evanston and passed the Uintas on their eastern flank.

“Roads were few and poor, frequently nothing but wagon tracks, and easily lost in dust, sand or hard ground. …with out road signs it was impossible to tell which ones led to the next town and which ones wandered off to isolated ranches or mining claims. But by primitive navigation, watching the sun and studying the stars plus inquiring of people along the way…”

“After… the Uinta Mountains the family’s route was southwest to Vernal, Utah and then into the state of Colorado. Here their path again turned south, zigzagging back and forth near the Utah-Colorado border. Plodding along at one or two miles an hour… Hills, mountains, rivers and sandy washes slowed the troupe’s pace.

“Dad [Archibald O Lamoreaux] did not follow the usual route to Arizona. The shortest and most traveled route through Utah was via Logan, Farmington, …Provo, Nephi, …Panguitch. …Dad had reasons …1 More feed for the horses …2 Cooler weather 3 Safty. Dad wanted to avoid crossing the Colorado River. Stories of …Lee’s Ferry…

“The round-about trek …took them across …the Colorado Plateau …that covers parts of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. …there were other rivers to ford. They crossed the Uinta and Green Rivers in Utah, the Gunnison and Colorado Rivers in Colorado, the San Juan in New Mexico and in Arizona the Little Colorado, the black, the White and the Gila Rivers.

“The day to day routine consisted of breaking camp at sun up and traveling until sundown. …chores …gathering firewood as they rolled along. …to save time when they pitched camp …hobble the horses, feed them grain, and put bells on the lead horses. …build a fire …cooking …bacon, potatoes, mutton, bottled fruit and dutch oven biscuits were the staples… Oftentimes fresh vegetables, corn, peas and string beans purchased from ranchers …fish & game …rabbit or prairie hen …an occasional wild turkey… Sunday was a day of rest.

…the boys wore clothing in keeping with Western frontier …cooper riveted pants …”Levi’s” and similar type jackets. Heavy flannel shirts, button shoes and black felt hats with narrow brims …Dad [Archibald] did not wear shoes, the stubs of his feet rested on squares of wood two inches thick, covered with leather and laced to his ankles. Mother was the epitome of feminine style in long gingham dresses that dragged the ground and she shaded her eyes with poke bonnets typical of that day.

“By 1894 the Indians had been moved to the reservations but they still presented problems. Renegade groups roamed the West, pilfering, robbing and making themselves disliked and distrusted by both white and red men. …The Uintas were friendly and on occasions Dad bought feed from them. …these Indians were fond of practical jokes. On one occasion they indicated they wanted seven year old Guy in exchange for some grain.



“…near Chimney Rock in northwestern New Mexico. The family awoke one morning and found all their horses gone…Orrell and Ray started out on foot … soon they found two of them, still hobbled, but in the custody of two Indians. The boys with the aid of a few pieces of chewing tobacco got these horses back and returned to camp. Dad & Uncle Hite rode off looking for the others and rounding them up, …all but one. The missing animal was a blooded bay mare about three years old and the best horse Dad[Archibald O Lamoreaux] owned. …a group of renegade Navajo Indians had driven the horses away during the night and, it was believed, still held the missing mare.

“Riding bare-back, alone and unarmed he went to the Indian village. There in the corral with the Indian ponies was his little bay mare. Dad [Archibald] said not a word but rode to the corral and without dismounting opened the makeshift gate and entered the corral. Approximately 15 armed Indians watched in sullen silence as he …looped a rope around her neck and led the little mare out of the corral …No one made a move to stop him.

“…The band of Indians was an outlaw group with little respect for law of property. Someone explained that it was the Indian’s superstitious fear of deformed persons that saved Dad from death or injury.

“As a rule the Indians were friendly …helped to break the monotony …Sometimes an Indian would entertain them for an hour or more. …Often times they stopped the caravan and asked for presents… usually …tobacco, coffee, flour or meat…” Dad [Archibald] had special tins that were always almost empty. This discouraged large losses. They were spectacular in bright colors If only a red or yellow rag tied around their head. They had beautiful blankets, “buckskin trousers and moccasins and were bare from the waist up …black hair, dark skin with a reddish cast and their faces often smeared with paint marks, …a primitive and strange look, a mixture of cunningness, defiance, boldness, and cruelty.

“Once while stopped, for a noon meal …Indians …quickly down the canyon in single file and headed straight for the family. …Riding into the camp they reigned in their horses and got off and proceeded to eat everything they could find that was edible. As soon as they finished eating they unceremoniously got on their horses and rode away.

Fear of Indians caused another person to join the troupe. One day near Shiprock, New Mexico a young man” Bob, 30 years old, asked Archibald if he could join the group through the reservation. He paid for his way by giving them a horse. He rode with them for about a month. They stopped to help a rancher put up his hay. Bob disappeared mysteriously outside of Holbrook. He volunteered to scout ahead & was never seen again. The sheriff and his deputies came to meet the band told them of a bank robber on the loose… he fit Bob’s description.

Other problems include a angry ram attacking Dave, water shortages, entertainment on the way, hunting game, illness, bad roads. Their path from Holbrook followed “US Highway 66, then south to Gallup, New Mexico nearly 100 miles away. …They followed the Little Colorado River to …Woodruff…” From here they had to descend into the Gila Valley. Mother, Lydia L C Lamoreaux’s, words… “we camped for a few days… advised to leave one wagon and …one or two of the horses strayed off… traveling with a bunch of men with freight wagons… from Black River on …the roads were just awful hills, and almost solid rock for miles.’ Through Woodruff, Snowflake, Showlow, through the largest yellow pine forest in US, to McNary & Fort Apache. From pines to cactus, over the Gila Mountains, near Mt Graham, to “the sandy river bottom of the Gila River covered with mistletoe infested cottonwood trees, thorny mesquite brush, thick growths of willows, …greenish yellow creosote bushes, …prickly pear cactus, cholla, sand & rock… a rather rough looking paradise.”

Alvin “…awakened his daughter …his stomach pained him. …When she arose …she found her parent sitting in an arm chair, quite dead. …the features of the dead man were serene & peaceful.

Logan Paper article as quoted byAlvin Crockett “He showed not the slightest symptom of illness when he

retired on Tuesday evening, but during the night he awakened his daughter Althea by inquiring for some pepper, stating that his stomach pained him. Never dreaming anything serious, Miss Crockett found it and then went to sleep again. When she arose yesterday morning and went downstairs she found her parent sitting in an arm chair, quite dead. Death had evidently come swiftly and painlessly, for the features of the dead man were serene and peaceful.

“Thus passed away another of the little group of Cache Valley pioneers, which death has greatly thinned during the past decade. Alvin Crockett was an honest man and more cannot be written of any man save the great Nazarene. A quiet, unassuming citizen, loyal to his country and to his convictions. He was honored and admired as a man of worth and character by all who knew him.”

Scott, Donna H, The Crockett Family of Maine p 17“Though now in his seventieth year he is comparatively speaking, a

monument of physical strength and preservation. He is still a counselor to his children and grandchildren, all of whom have grown to love and revere him, and who should hold, even dearer than they hold their own lives, the example his life teaches - a life devoid of ostentation, inoffensive and harmless, yet useful in the



highest degree - a life devoted principally to the development of the kingdom of God. -

and father's health. His parents were both of sturdy Utah Pioneer stock. When they first came to Ariz. they settled for awhile in the small village of Glenbar, sometimes nicknamed Hogtown, because of some neighbors who were forever feuding over their pigs. A few years later they moved to Thatcher, Ariz. They were living there in 1904 when a blond haired, brown-eyed miss of 16 years came to Thatcher to attend the Gila Academy. Her forefathers, like the Lamoreaux and Crocketts had sacrificed much to be near the church of their choice. She came to Ariz. to live with an aunt while there attending school, and lived next door to the Lamoreaux family.

Bibliography

One of the best sources of this work is The Crockett Family of Maine, compiled and edited by Donna Hopkins Scott, 1968, Provo, Utah, BYU Press. Donna is the source listed on many of the other pages. She lists many sources in her book. An interesting one is “Dr B Lake Noyes was a life long researcher of all the families at Deer Isle and all over Penobscot Bay region. It was said that it took a truck to transport his collection to Salt Lake City. …he was not a Mormon… asked his wife to … find the best place to put his collection…”
